Since announcing her return to competitive gymnastics, Gabby Douglas has made huge strides, as she shared improvements in her training regime.
The 27-year-old gymnast returned to the sport earlier this year in July. Douglas last competed at the 2016 Rio Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where she captured gold with the team.
After a nearly seven-year hiatus, Douglas attended the national camp held at Starr Gymnastics in Katy, Texas, from November 12-15, 2023. The Olympic gold medalist announced her return to the sport via social media in July.
A few days ago, the gymnast, who has been a member of both the Fierce Five and Final Five, hinted at her return at the 2024 Winter Cup scheduled for February, in Louisville, Kentucky.
In a recent Insidegym post, Douglas was seen performing her routine on the bars. She is seen constantly swinging on the tape and making successive turns and turns.
Her selection for the 2016 Olympics sparked debate, as it was not based entirely on her performance in the trials, but rather on her unfettered display of determination at the 2015 World Championships held in Glasgow, UK. Despite a severe knee injury, the gymnast won the silver medal.
Gabby Douglas is the first African-American gymnast to win an Olympic individual all-around gold medal in gymnastics.
